All International Studies majors must demonstrate a proficiency in a language other than English. We recommend that students fulfill their language requirement with a language from the geographic region that they will use to fulfill their Zone of Expertise. There are several ways to fulfill the language requirement.

Successful completion of the fourth semester of a college-level foreign language course (2000-level) with grade of C or better.

Students have the option of demonstrating the required proficiency through placement testing in the Modern Languages Deparment located in Plaza Building, Suite 118.

Successful completion of an upper division course (3000 or above) taught in a foreign language at the university level.

Successful completion of courses from semester-long Study Abroad program when the courses are taught in a language other than English with a grade of “C” or better.
